TBT - all the S' kitties

Hi efurrybody!  The mom bean has been going through stuff in the house and she found a whole bunch of pictures of us kitties.  So what did she do, she took pictures of some of these pictures!  She's such a silly bean because then she cleaned up an old computer and found digital copies.  MOL!

She was surprised to find this one, with the  six S's in one photo! From left to right, top to bottom, there is Shady on top of the cat tree, Sasha on the arm of the couch, Silver on the back of the couch, Saku on the floor below the cat tree, Silas on the coffee table, and Sami on the couch.  It was very rare to have efurryone together.

These are the original S' kitties, Silver, Sasha and Sami.  Sasha is our oldest kitty, and came to live with us in 2000.  Silver came next: she loved Sasha, then Sami came, and she loved Sasha, so that meant Silver and Sami didn't like each other at all.  

This is our sisfur Shady.  Mom bean is sad because she doesn't have any really good photos of Shady.  She was the quietest of the S' kitties.  She only called out when she was carrying a toy.  (Reminds us of our furriend Katie Isabella!)

Here's our brofur Silas.  He was the biggest kitty and the biggest mom suck of us all.  (Though Saku is getting close - mom).  

He is Shady's twin and Sami thought she was their mom (she wasn't really but she sure took good care of the kittens).

Mom bean thinks this photo was taken after Silver passed in April 2008; she calls it "Feeding time at the Zoo".  That's mean to saybut we were all well fed.  One time after mom bean had been on a trip (and we had a cat sitter), the Humane Society worker came by to check in.  She took one look at Silas (22 lbs. at the time) and said, "well, they are certainly not starving".)

Finally, here is Saku when he was a little kitty with Sami.  She didn't act like his mom very much.  Shady and Silas played with him the most, but at first Silas was afraid of him!  Later they had lots of fun tussling and playing in the tunnel.  

Silver, Sami, Shady, and Silas are now our angel kitties.  Mom bean misses them all the time, and sends them her love today.   We'll be sure to make time for some cuddles and lap time to let her know we love her right back.

Pee Ess:  Sheldon lived with us for awhile too, but he now lives with his own mom bean, bean brofur, and fursib Stanley.  Mom bean says that's a good thing!

Happy Valentine's Day efurrybody!

Saying goodbye to a furriend

Hi efurrybody.  

We are here with some sad news today as our furriend Alti went to the Bridge today.  She is the kitty of our mom bean's good work friend C.


Mom bean tried to find a picture of a kitty that looked like Alti, but the best she could find was this image.  

As you can see Alti was a tuxie girl.  She was little and round (until recently) and a sassy girl.  She had two older fursibs, both also tuxies who went before her.  They didn't care much for her so she was furry much attached to her mom bean.


Alti was over 18 years old and had been on thyroid medicines for a year or so.  She had to go to the ebil v e t office often, and when she did she sang the song of her people furry loudly.  She kept it up all the way there and all the way home.  One day her dad bean called our mom bean and let her listen to Alti sing as he drove her home. She could really carry a tune!  

There was even a special note in the v e t file so that the techs knew to be wary of her.  Alti was known to be a bit nasty, she even bit one of the techs so bad, the bean was off work for a few days while the wound healed.

She was an awesome kitty, little and tough, and sweet to her beans.  Alti will be missed so much.  If you can spare some purrs for her mom and dad bean today it would be appawciated as they are heartbroken.

Fly free, Alti.
